Highly Important from Canada.
Vv'e have received by this morning's mail high
ly hnpormnt intelligence from our correspondent ’
at Roel.e.stcr, giving an account of mi attempt |
made by the Patriots to capture a British vessel
in the Amoric.m wat jib at the mouth cf the G-.n
--aftr-c river. The following is the daspateh :
. RoeitEsiT.it, Nov. 13, 1838.
Draii Hi n—l hasten to inform you of a singu
lar outrage that occurred at pur city last night.—
The British s dir. Caroline, of and for Toronto,
Upper Canada, hulca with a valuable cargo of
merchandise, cleared lust night, and was to sail
early this morning. About midnight site was
hoarded by twenty armed men who look posses
sion of her sh the name of the Patriot government,
confined the ('aptain and erexv below, and attempt
ed to navigate the vessel into the lake. From
our harbor to the hike in six miles, and not being
familiar with the channel, the patriots or pirates
got aground near the mouth of the river. Unable
to get the vessel oil'the shoal, they abandoned her
and took to the woo Is, and have not yet been ar
rested. The Captain made a. deposition of the
above facts before the proper authorities this af
ternoon, and has sailed for Canada. It will pro
duce great excitement on the other side; many of
our inhabitants fear retaliation. Thus recom
mence the outrages that disgraced our frontier
last winter.
In addition to this intelligence, xve learn from
numerous letl ers before us, received from the fron
tier, from Buffalo to Ogdensburgli, that all the
idle loafers in the interior of the state are concen
trating in various points, and that a general onset
v>iU he made on the 30 th ins!. The outrage at
Rochester is only the first mutteHiags of the thun
der. Our correspondents state that the number
of idle loafers capable of forming materials to at
tack Canada are estimated as follows :
Ruffaio and neighborhood, 2000
Niagara, do. 1500
Rochester, do. 3000
Northern frontier, 2,500
Aggregate loafers or patriots, 9,000
From Montreal and Ogdennbnrgh, the intelli
gence is tilso alarming. Around the former place
(lie insurrection is in progress. .Around Montre
al the Patriot forces are routed entirely. The
British troops it seems are burning the whole of
the infected districts. This conduct will add fu
el to the flame. Nothing can stop the erudite,
but the vigorous arm of the American government.
General Scott, we learn, lias been ordered to (ho
Northern frontier. But unfortunately, wl.l! ■ the
government is apparently endeavoring to main
lain its neutrality, nil its supporters here and on
the frontier are actively engaged in fanning the
flames. The •“New Era,” the government organ
here, says, that “the Patriot cause is the good
ctlii-e.”
Annexed will be found numerous extracts on
the progress of tlie war. To-rnorrow xvc expect
numerous despatches from our correspondents
from the Upper Canada and Niagara frontier.—
Thy entente at Rochester is only the beginning
of a long, bloody, black, furious drama.
MormtEAt, Nov. 14.
Among the prisoners who were taken on the
above occasion, was a French Officer, who held
the rank of General in the Rebel Army, and who
not being such a proficient in the running away
tactics of bis fellow-warriors, as they were, his
penchant for fighting led to his capture. On
learning his rank, Col. Taylor, (old him that lie
must not expert, on account of it, any better
treatment than the canaille with whom lie had
leagued himself, and xvho could not bo regarded
as honorable enemies. The name of the French
Officer alluded to. is said to lie St. Martinet
About 1 o’clock, His Excellency Sir John Col
bornc and Stall, landed from the Princess Victo
ria. He was enthusiastically cheered by the
crowds assembled on the wharves. One prisoner
was brought over at the same time, an old habi
tant, said to be the murder of the late Mr. Walker.
Several American muskets and bayonets were in
possession of the soldiers attached to iSir John
Coiborhe’s staff. They arc nearly new, a little
longer than the Tower muskets, their stock much
stronger, and barrels polished.
We have not learned the particulars of the
number of houses burned, but the current esti
mate on this subject, xve are assured, by good au
thority, is much over the mark, for Sir John is
anxious that the property should be preserved
and confiscated afterwards, rather than be destroy
ed. Tins would be a very desirable arrange
ment, and would stop any more burnings, if the
loyalists were convinced that government would
confiscate oh a sufficiently extensive scale—
Courier.
Mr. Charles Duller, late Chief Secretary to the
Earl of Durham, arrived in town from Quebec,
ou Saturday, afternoon, in the steamer St. George,
and xve believe on his way to England. We un
derstand, that on board of the St. George, lie as
serted that the Canadians were an injured and
an oppressed people, and that the so called loyal
ists, had caused both this and the first rebellion,
by tyrannising over their opponents, and goading
them ou to rebellion.— Herald.
Fort Covikotox, Nov. 9.
“We are all agitation and excitement at this
moment. A large boat with a company of U.
S. Infantry on board, were deecending the- St.
Lawrence yesterday. While passing the mouth
of the Rocket river, in our own waters, they were
fired upon by the British from an opposite point
of land projecting into the channel from Corn
wall Island. A sergeant was wounded in the
shoulder by a musket ball severely, but. I think
not mortally. The ball is to be extracted, if pos
sible, tills evening. The company have this mo
ment arrived. All communication between this
and Montreal, is cut oil’. VVe hoar many reports
of hos'ilities, but vve cannot tciy upon what we
hear as the reports are contradictory.”
On ness nr non, Nov. 12.
Early this -morning it was discovered (lint two
schooners, loaded with armed men lay in the
river between this village and Prescott. Expec
tation was-soon rife and excitement pervaded (lie
whole population. It was obvious that Fort Wel
lington was the point of attack, and our citisens
soon thronged to the shore, eager to catch every
movement
A small steamboat was lying at the opposite
wharf, and (lie people of Prescott, parading up
and down from the village to the* fort, gave ex ;-
deuce that no small degree of hubbub and ex
citement pervaded the population.
One of the schooners containing the rebel ar
mament had gone aground during the night, and
a band of armed men seized the steamboat Unit
ed States, and pressed some of the hands into
their service for the purpose of getting her oIT.
She, however, was not aide to reach the schooner,
as the water was not sufficient for her drnit, and
she came into port for a longer hauser. An she
went out again, the Experiment (a British armed
steamboat) greeted her with two shots, which
missed, and he passed down the river.
About 9 o’clock, A. M.,one detachment of the
forces made a landing on the Canada shore about
a mile below Fort Wellington, and whether they
were attacked or not is uncertain. One opinion
is that a party attacked them but retreated at the
first lire. Mon l ave been constantly crossing to
them in small heats, and'up to this hour, 2 o'clock
P. M., about 5t 0 are supposed to have joined
them.
The great s. cue of excitement, however, has
been on the wa'er. The Experiment kept up an
irregular tire during the forenoon on the schooner
an ! th" I mted States. Watching their various
evolutions and observing the skipping of the shot
as they elan ed along the surface of the water,
formed a vi ry exciting scone in a quiet village
like this.

'hs a Ferry Boat, between thi rfpldce un«l r. scott,
wont to the relit t' of the schooner that lay on the
bar. and succeeding in gitting her nfloa t. 'file
, IN pi riment threw in hcrlhot at a liberal •rate,
«nd they were so near s> vcr.il times that they ex
changed musket and ride shot . It is reported
that the Experiment su-'ained a less of seven
men—the schooner none.
After tlio schooner got afloat, the United States
camo up and entered the harbor. As she passed
the armed steamboat a shot passed through her
wheel-house, and killed a very worthy young man
by the name of Foster, a steersman en the boat.
Three o’clock, P. M.—The rebel forces oc
cupy a wind mill, about a mile below Prescott,
and it is understood that there is another body
above who have taken up abridge, and stand pre
pared to defend themselves.
The afternoon has been quiet so far. Small
boats arc constantly crossing with men and arms.
VV e have a most favorable location for observ
ing the movements, as our window alV.mis a lull
view of Prescott, and the river above and below,
for two or three miles. Prescott is tin usually
quiet this afternoon. We have hardly seen a
moving being in the streets or about it.
Six o’clock P. M.—Arms and munitions
appear to be abundant. The schooners have pla
ced themselves near the wharf on which the wind
mill stands. A body of loyalists, reported dOO,
are on their march from Brockville (12 miles above
tins) to meet them, and if the parties have an aps
petite for cold fighting, we may expect important
events soon.
Coi.sTEnrr.iTs—look out. —The Philadel
phia Ledger of yesterday says—“counterfeit $5
notes on the bank of Pennsylvania are in circula
tion ; a great number of them were passed last
evening, and a man and woman were apprehend
ed with a large roll of the counterfeits.”
The N. A . Slave Cass. —The several individ
uals indicted for a participation in the abduction
of Mr. Darg’s slave, in New York, and the robbe
ry of that gentleman, are likely, for the present,
to escape ‘unwliipt of justice,” lie being compell
ed to go to the South. Mr. 1). was the principal
witness, and union he appears the prosecution
will fall through.

Close of a Patriot Orator’s Will. —The
following is the closing paragraph of the will of
Patrick Henry. ‘ I have now disposed of all my
property to my family ; there is one tiling more I
wish I could give them, and that is the Christian
religion. If they had this, and I had not given
them one shilling, they would 1.0 rich ; and if they
had not that, and I had given them all the world,
they v, ould be poor.”
A well dressed man recently entered the office
o{ a money-changer, and offered him several notes
of-the Havre Bank to be changed. While they
were discussing the rate of exchange, the cus
tomer opened his snuff-box and offered a pinch to
the changer, he took it, and aim ist instantly was
attacked with a giddiness, which compelled him
to shut his eyes. The owner of the notes seized
the advantage, and was in the act of laying his
hands on two bowls tilled with gold, when the
wife of the money-, hanger entered from the mar
ket, attended by her servant. A t their appearance
the man fled without his prey, and escaped. It is
•said that the narcotic mixed with the snuff was
jhe powder of the Datura Stramonium.

On the 10th inst., Euoenia Parmelee, young
est child of R V. and Mary It. Clarkson, aged one
year and 24 days,
Died, on the 10th instant, at his residence in
Barnwell District, Capt. fiiiwis Tuotti, in
the sixty-ninth year ol his age. Capt. T. was
a native of Florida, and emigrated with his fa
ther to South Carolina, when about four years
old. Few men were more beloved, and highly
did he merit the affections of his fellow-men. His
heart and purse were always open to the needy
and poor. His benevolence and kind hcartednes s
were manifested through n long life of usefulness
and honor. For many years he labored under
the most acute sphering, which would have to
tally disqualified most men from pursuing the
ordinary concerns of life. Not so with him, his
untiring industry and indefatigable perseverance
never forsook him to the last. He was cheerful
and full of kindness even amidst pain and sickness.
In the private circle no man was more loved, his
children, his domestics and neighbors all adored
and respected him. In public life as Sheriff of
the District, he discharged his duty with so much
fidelity and correctness as to acquire for him the
reputation of the “best Sheriff,” Barnwell Dis
trict ever had.
His memory can never .fade-from the minds of •
his numerous acquaintances and frisnds, who
have felt and seen his unassuming and kindly
manners. As a Christian ho died in the full pros
pect of a “ blessed immortality beyond the grave.”
“ Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord.”
